05 MARCH 2017 - KATHMANDU, NEPAL: A boy plays on a statue of Hunaman, the Hindu god depicted as a monkey, the statue is surrounded by scaffolding that is holding up the wall of the Hanuman Dhoka Palace on Durbar Square in Kathmandu, a UNESCO World Heritage Site badly damaged in the 2015 earthquake. Much of Kathmandu is now a construction site because of rebuilding two years after the earthquake of 25 April 2015 that devastated Nepal. In some villages in the Kathmandu valley workers are working by hand to remove ruble and dig out destroyed buildings. About 9,000 people were killed and another 22,000 injured by the earthquake. The epicenter of the earthquake was east of the Gorka district. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
